Tom Brady is now in a new era himself, as he is set to be calling games throughout this year. Now, Brady is the elder statesman of the NFL and he is giving back to the future stars of the league. The seven time Super Bowl champion knows a thing or two about being a winner and a champion. He told the top rookies about what it takes to get to the top.
One of his main warnings to the young stars was to stop focusing on social media and their own personal brand, and rather to focus on being the best teammate they can be. He articulated that you have to put the team before yourself if you want to be champion.
“When you have 53 guys on the team, you think it’s about you. It ain’t about you. It’s about us,” Brady said.
“And the biggest problem I see with a lot of the young players today, you guys are making it too much about I and me. Because of social media, because of branding and all that. It’s fine… you’re not going to win.”

Brady made sure the rookies understood that:
“there was a difference between being a star and being a champion.”
Brady was also known for taking every game, practice, and preseason game so intensely serious.
“Every day of practice is important. You know why? Because when I was on the Patriots, and we had 20 years of winning, every day was a big day. I treated a preseason game, I treated a regular-season game like it was a Super Bowl. So, when I got to the Super Bowl, it was just another day for me,” he said.
“There should be nobody in your life that should have higher expectations for you than you.”
We will have to wait and see which of these young stars takes Brady’s messages to heart. Even if just one of them do, then we are in for a great new generation of young stars.
